    I like a couple of boiled eggs or some yogurt. I eat one of the yolks and give the other to my dog. :wink:

    Well, it depends on how you're spacing your meals. If your meals every 3hrs, the body can only really absorb 35-40g of protien in that amount of time...so it's kind of moot. If you're eating a more traditional breakfast, lunch, and dinner...you could make your own protien bars for in between. Nuts are a great snack...cottage cheese is AWESOME, full of protien, 0 carbs...but if you're looking to reduce fat as well...the only thing I can really think of is to make your own protien bars.

    It'll be good to hear from others on this too =D.

    whey isolate shake with some psyllium husks for fiber is a real quick fix. not that filling, but it gets the job done when you don't have any time. i mix mine with filtered water, and use the EAS brand.

    I usually eat fruit mixed with yogurt and a cheese stick. Or an apple or grapes with yogurt and a cheesstick. You can get the low cal cheese sticks that are about 60 cal, fat free yogurt that is 80 cal.......
